  1. I really dont use Mastercam anymore but I do remember that once you had things like you wanted you HAD to save them in The Machine Definition. I even password protected it so no one could change it.
  2. If you know the info on the gear then the radial pitch of the gear is equal to the linear pitch of the rack. So I think if you created one tooth and created a straight pressure angle on it and translated it the linear pitch it would be correct. Of course I may be wrong.
  3. Anyone ever wire edm this stuff? Input?
  4. Its for wire machines that will actually support movement of the Z axis simultaneously with the U and V.
  5. Esprit has create /point distance. Give it a positive value and it places a point along that entity from the end point at that value. Give it a negative distance and it puts it outside the endpoint of the entity.
  6. So I assume the Mits will move the Z axis simultaneously with the U and V? My Fanucs won't do that, but really there is no need for it. Are you using the 3 d tracking?
  7. Several years ago. Yes. He was a temp worker with no experience.
  8. Guy here grabbed ahold of a 1 inch drill while turning with gloves and it broke his arm completely into. He came running to the front and let go of his arm and it just fell over at 90 degrees.
  9. I am not aware of the type of work you have to do so gloves may be necessary . Personally I think gloves in a tool room atmosphere is a accident waiting to happen.
  10. Been awhile since I have used mastercam but you can manually input part thickness in parameters as UV height and where the part sets on the table as XY height. It actually should recognize those planes though.
  11. I would schedule some training with Sodick.
  12. Pretty much how it is here as I control my own AC in the wireroom. Even in the winter I turn it on when all the wires are running. Everyone bitches how cold it is in here but I like it that way.
  13. My gage pins are minus .0002. Technically I have understood that it takes .0003 to slide into an onsize hole.
  14. as soon as the 2nd person falls down from the heat they turn the AC on here,
  15. I have been working with the same material and understand.
  16. I like my Mititoyo . Face stays up so you can always see it and clockwise is always the high side.
  17. PM Daniel and he will help you out.
